In May, scientists and archaeologists from the Australian Museum uncovered a 4,000-year-old Aboriginal rock art site at Eagles Reach, literally on Sydney’s doorstep. Despite the abundance of many Aboriginal art sites in the region, the Eagles Reach find, which is located about 160 kilometres northwest of Sydney in the wilderness section of the Wollemi National Park, is regarded as the biggest and most significant discovery in the last 50 years. The more than 200 well-preserved and stunning images at the site have been previously hidden by the region’s rugged and inhospitable landscape.
Glass crafts are made by heating sand silica until it melts into a liquid state. The melted glass can then either be shaped by blowing the liquid glass or by pouring the melted glass into a mold. The shape and size of the finished piece depend on the tools and method used by the artist.
